Abstract
In a method for virtual adaptation of an object to be medically inserted in a patient, to a body part of the patient, the object is shown in a desired view on a monitor, the body part is shown on the monitor, the body part in its unchanged imaging context, is automatically displaced relative to the object until the object is adapted to the body part with the orientation of the object relative to the monitor remaining unchanged.
Claims11
A method for virtual adaptation of an object to be medically inserted into a patient, to a body part of the patient, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining contiguous 3D datasets of the object and the body part;
- based on the 3D datasets displaying the object in a desired view on a monitor screen;
- based on the 3D datasets, also displaying the body part on the monitor screen;
- and
- automatically displacing the body part, in an unchanged 3D volume imaging context, relative to the object on the monitor until the object is adapted to the body part on the monitor, while maintaining a position and an orientation of the object relative to the monitor unchanged, and modifying a depth position of the 3D dataset at least once relative to the screen.
